Stemm academy for girls, women, and underrepresented populations

The U.S. Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education awarded the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) a $750,000 Project Grant under the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (CFDA 84.116) program. The grant funds the "STEMM Academy for Girls, Women, and Underrepresented Populations" program, which aims to improve STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine) education and expand access to these fields for female and underrepresented students across LACCD's nine colleges. Additionally, LACCD has received other federal grants, including a $1M Project Grant to provide transportation assistance to students at Los Angeles City College and funding to support local adult education and literacy services programs as a subrecipient. LACCD has also collaborated with Loyola Marymount University on a grant to develop new international business curriculum and integrate global concepts into existing programs across its colleges.
